How do I know if ... ?

How do I know if there are enough copepods in the tank? Should I not worry or is there a way to add ?

Hey Pete,

That's a bit of a subjective question. Enough copepods for what? For keeping something like a Mandarin goby? For general health of a system? For your own pleasure? ;)

There are a few online companies such as www.ipsf.com and www.inlandaquatics.com that provide detrivore kits to recharge or help start up a tank. They're a little expensive, but well worth it. You do have a pretty good chance of adding the same things with a good amount of LR though so the choice is up to you.

Yes it was a thought with the Gobies, Blennies and crabs in mind. The live rock is there, so will it replenish itself ?
